This is a specific conversation about Senior Dog Supplements — ask about yours and get one honest answer for your exact situation.

Two dogs, two very different life stages — a 14-year-old Dachshund and a 9-year-old Beagle. That's a great setup for getting this right, because what works for one won't necessarily be the best fit for the other. Let's start with your Dachshund since they're the elder of the two. What's your biggest concern with them right now — mobility, stiffness, energy, digestion, or something else?
The Dachshund is really stiff in the mornings and has slowed down a lot on walks. The Beagle seems fine energy-wise but I've noticed some occasional stiffness after long runs too.

That morning stiffness in your Dachshund is very typical at 14, and Dachshunds carry extra risk because of their long spine and short legs — joint support is genuinely important for them, not just a nice-to-have. For the Beagle, what you're describing sounds like early-stage joint wear rather than anything serious, which is actually the best time to start a supplement — before it becomes a real problem. How long have you noticed the stiffness in each of them?
The Dachshund has been like this for about a year, getting gradually worse. The Beagle only started after runs in the last couple of months.

That tells me your Dachshund needs a high-strength, senior-specific joint formula — something with a meaningful dose of green-lipped mussel, glucosamine, and omega-3s combined. For the Beagle, a standard adult joint supplement will do the job at this stage without over-supplementing. For your Dachshund, I'd go with YuMOVE Senior Joint Care Tablets — it's specifically formulated for dogs over 8 with existing stiffness, and the active ingredient levels are noticeably higher than the standard version. For your Beagle, YuMOVE PLUS for Dogs is the right step up — stronger than the everyday formula but not the full senior dose. Different tubs, clear labelling, easy to keep track of.
Is it safe to give them the wrong one if I mix up the tubs by accident? And how long before I'd see a difference?

Cross-dosing occasionally won't cause harm — these are natural supplements, not medications. But consistency matters more than perfection. If your Dachshund misses the senior dose regularly, you just won't see the full benefit. Most owners notice a difference in mobility and morning stiffness within 4 to 6 weeks of daily use. The Beagle may take a similar timeframe, though because the stiffness is less established, you might see results sooner. Stick with it daily rather than just after runs — it works best as a continuous baseline, not a reactive treatment.
Perfect, that makes sense. I'll order both. Thanks for separating them out properly rather than just giving me one answer for both dogs.

That's exactly why it's worth asking. A 14-year-old Dachshund and a 9-year-old Beagle are genuinely in different places, and treating them the same would mean under-supporting the one who needs more. YuMOVE Senior for your Dachshund, YuMOVE PLUS for the Beagle — keep them on a daily routine and you should see a real difference in both within a month or so.
